Hi everyone

On a Windows Server 2008 R2, if you update an Citrix DDC 7.x with an Citrix StoreFront 2.x enabled on it, you might fall into that error;

09:38:53.9613 : XenDesktopSetup:About to install StoreFront with parameters: -silent -WINDOWS_CLIENT "\\xxxxxxx\XenApp_and_XenDesktop_7_15_1000\Citrix Receiver and Plug-ins\Windows\Receiver\CitrixReceiver.exe" -INSTALLDIR "C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront"

If such symptom happen you can safely remove your StoreFront by Add/Remove Program, and reinstall the update.

The StoreFront 3 seem to have problem to upgrade the 2.x StoreFront installation

Windows Server Incremental`s Backup with an RDX-1000 (HP) or RD-1000 (Dell)

Hi everyone

Ever worried on how to do an incremental backup to an RDX-1000 tape device ? as Windows Backup Service detect the device as like a hard drive, but not completely an USB stick either, so without the tip a lot of administrator finish by using a share into the device to make a full backup each day.

The small tip I found is;

Create a VHD into the RDX-1000 tape.

Mount it as a drive.
And now use that drive as a destination !

That way you can have incremental backup :)

Removing DC role from an Exchange 2016 Server ?

August 1, 2018, 2:20 am technology

Hi everyone

In the time of Exchange 2007 if you had a server with the active directory role on it, installing Exchange on top of it removed the ability to remove the active directory's role later on.

In newer Exchange, like Exchange 2016, does this limitation is still there ?

Yes, the limitation is still there !

You can see the text there; Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended

Demoting a domain controller to a member server isn't supported.

I wanted to talk about it, as I still see some question about that, like seen there on ServerFault's forum.

Thanks

Active Directory Domain Service Role`s Install Error 0x80010108

Hi everyone

If you hit an install error 0x80010108 when you try to add the Active Directory Domain Service's role to your server, then please make sure your account is correctly delegated the corrects right to add a new domain controller. It's a simple right issue.

I kindly asked for a unfiltered account to do the task, and it worked like a charm :)

Thanks

Windows Server 2016 RDS setting for Licensing

July 3, 2018, 8:18 pm technology

Hi everyone

If you make a RDS install for a simple server. I found today a small tip to simply add the Remote Desktop Session Host's role and set the licensing mode correctly; (As the console don't seem to be there by default)

Open gpedits.msc, and go there:

Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing

And set those two options;

Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers Enabled, and enter the licensing server.\

Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode Enabled, and select user or device.\

After you can hit a refresh in your RD Licencing Diagnostic MMC, and the status should be good !

Thanks
